The price of oil is devastating to the Alberta economy, but gas in our area (which is notoriously the highest in Canada) has dropped to $0.92/litre, or about $2.60 US/gallon. It wasn't that long ago that we were near $2.00/litre, or $5.75 US/gallon. I admit I'm enjoying the new low fuel price.
I'm encouraged by the terrific examples of humanity in my area. There is a movement called "care mongering", which focuses on acts of kindness to others. Folks have been buying groceries for neighbours and just generally being good people.

Last night at 12am we went under stay at home quarantine. No more leisurely rides around the lake. Stuck at my house with all the yard work done. Me and the Mrs.'s cars are washed and waxed, are are all of the bikes. I am running out of stuff to do outside. I do not think I can make it 7 more days couped up inside!
Also I cannot just sit still either outside. I have to be doing something. Maybe i will plastidip my Hawk? Hmmmmmm |

1.84 here last I saw, but I've been at home the past few days. no idea what is happening out there in the world near me. I guess I should go to the ABC store again since it's deemed an essential business here in NC.

Mrs. 2LZ discovered that she likes two of her co-workers far more now that they work at home!

I’ve seen $1.75 but usually around $1.99. The local Mobil, only game in town, is still at $2.29. I was pretty pleased that I got 93 for the Ural for $3 at the BP north of town yesterday.

Jerry I have come a long way since getting the hawk. I did take many of the bolts out and loctited them. The head thing? Probably out of my league. Sounds like a good idea for more power which I like. The skills and tools required are past me I fear.
